Chapter 226 - Young Girl in Green (1/2)
The woman in the bronze chariot was in a black dress. Her waterfall-like hair was worn in a bun, revealing her snow-white neck. Her delicate and charming face looked like a blooming rose.
This beauty was Black Rose Mu Wangsu, manager of Keystone Business in the Donglin Town.
But her position was different now. She was promoted and entrusted with an important task. So she became the manager of Keystone Business in Mist City half a year ago.
Donglin Town was a remote frontier town, but Mist City was the capital of the Southwestern Province. Undoubtedly, Mu Wangsu had strong management abilities since she could get the promotion.
She was shaking with laughter as if hearing the funniest joke in the world. She said, “Hahaha… Fang Yu flatters too much. If he knows Master Xun is only a teenager, you guess what expression he will present.”
“Miss Wansu, are you really sure that Master Xun is the little boy who made a lot of trouble in Donglin Town last year?”
Outside the chariot, Wang Lin asked in surprise. He was a treasure appraiser of Keystone Business in Donglin Town. He came to Mist City with Mu Wangsu this time.
“It must be Lin Xun. Wang Lin, you’ve seen the Flaming Spirit Saber sold by this kid just after he entered the Donglin Town.”
Mu Wangsu finally stopped laughing and said, “Although the Snowfall Saber is different from the Flaming Spirit Saber, they have a common symbol of the Mark ‘Xun’!”
Wang Lin thought for a moment and remembered the introduction from high-ranking spiritual tattooist Fang Yu. The same mark ‘Xun’ was showed on the screen. He then immediately confirmed Master Xun’s identity.
He couldn’t help feeling amazed, “It’s only a year since I saw Lin Xun last time, but he has become the famous Master Xun in Mist City now! Who can imagine that Lin Xun survived several times in the slums of Donglin Town before?”
Mu Wangsu recalled the past too. She met Lin Xun in Feiyun Village of Three Thousand Mountains for the first time. At that time, Lin Xun was only a rural teenager on the second level of Martial Realm, who was weak and not noticeable at all.
Mu Wangsu was extremely puzzled that didn’t understand why the big Childe Shi Shuan valued Lin Xun this poor boy. Now she finally got it.
She still clearly remembered that Shi Shuan once said, “There is a kind of person who, if given the chance, would burst out a dazzling brilliance… Time will tell us whether he’s a talent or not.”
According to Lin Xun’s achievements in Mist City, Mu Wangsu had to admire Shi Shuan’s accurate judgment.
Although Lin Xun might be not a powerful man at this moment, he had made a great difference from the rural boy!
Mu Wangsu’s ruddy and plump lips rose. She muttered, “When this little villain left, he didn’t even say goodbye to me. Even if his identity changed nowadays, I will not give him a smile when I meet him again!”
Wang Lin laughed bitterly. When Lin Xun was in Donglin Town, Mu Wangsu didn’t like Lin Xun. Wang Lin had to come out personally to ease the tension between them.
Unexpectedly, Mu Wangsu still took those trivial disagreements to heart, which really made Wang Lin feel helpless.
“Anyhow… Wang Lin, we should keep the secret of Master Xun. It must be Lin Xun that does not want to let Mist City’s people know his real identity. We help him for the big Childe’s sake,” Mu Wangsu enjoined Wang to secrecy .
Wang Lin immediately understood that Mu Wangsu had no prejudice against Lin Xun anymore, though she seemed still angry with him in words.
The bronze chariot soon started to move and was driven away.
Mu Wangsu stopped letting her mind wander and said, “Two months later, it will be the centennial of Keystone Business in Mist City. This is the first big event after I got promoted. The big Childe Shi Shuan personally helped me invite artistic practitioner Liu Qingyan to attend the celebration. When I arrived at Keystone Business, I’d like to meet this famous artistic practitioner in the first time.”
Wang Lin’s eyes suddenly brightened and he asked quickly, “Miss Wansu, has Liu Qingyan come ahead?”
Mu Wangsu nodded and replied as if thinking of something, “Liu Qingyan, an artistic practitioner, has such a high reputation in the empire. This woman shouldn’t be taken lightly. The big Childe even told me to treat her as the most important guest of honor. I am curious whether her charm is really as great as the rumor that she can make people completely infatuated with her…”
…
On the busy street, a young man in green and his servant Ying’er walked side by side.
“Don’t be so rude next time, Ying’er.”
The man in green gave a warning.
Ying’er stuck out her tongue and grinned, “I’ll obey your orders, but that fellow was so annoying just now. I don’t think he knows Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. It’s ridiculous for him to give you advice.”
The man in green frowned and thought, “Ying’er, do you think I should go to ask Master Xun’s help?”
Ying’er muttered, “Childe, that guy was obviously bragging. Why do you believe him? What’s more, even the spiritual tattoo masters of Academy of Spiritual Implements couldn’t repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina. Will Master Xun be more powerful than those masters?”
“But I…” said the young man hesitantly.
When Ying’er saw this, she could not help sighing, “Okay, let’s have a try if there’s an opportunity.”
The man in green smiled happily immediately, “Ying’er, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will not give up.”
Ying’er muttered, “I hope it won’t disappoint you again this time, but I feel sure it will.”
